I’ll deal decisively with insecurity, poverty, Obi promises Nigerians
Peter Obi

Presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP) for the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, yesterday, promised to decisively address insecurity and poverty if elected to lead Nigeria. He made the pledge while addressing reporters on the sidelines of the party’s strategic meeting in Abuja.

The former governor of Anambra State confirmed the appointment of Akin Osuntokun to replace Dr. Doyin Okupe as Director General of the LP’s Presidential Campaign Council, stating that a new Nigeria was possible.

His words: “Today, Nigerians are living in IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camps in their country. This means they are IDPs in their own country, and we have been receiving many bad news all over the place.

“Within this month, a young lady, who went to work, was raped and killed in Jos, Plateau State, and on Christmas day, another lady, a lawyer, was gunned down in Lagos.

“Similarly, there are so many cases of kidnapping and killing all over the country. Our party has also been attacked on several occasion. Our Women Leader (lady) was attacked and killed in Kaduna. The same thing happened to our party member contesting in Imo. We cannot continue this way.

“These are the problems in the country that we need to deal with as quickly as possible, where Nigerians can be safe in their own country. We will achieve this if voted into power in 2023 by God’s grace.”

On young people, Obi said Nigerian youths were energetic and talented, adding that they could compete favourably with their peers globally. According to the presidential standard-bearer, an individual cannot be rich in a poor environment, stressing that as long as Nigerians are suffering, there is need to address touchy issues.

He stated: “However, there is need for Nigerians to take back their country and set themselves free from oppression.

“This is because the only thing that the country has succeeded in doing is throwing people into poverty, which is also bringing suffering upon Nigerians and making them unhealthy. And that is not what we want.

“What we are trying to do about structure is to restructure the structure that created poverty. So, our structure is the volunteers, who want to take their country back.

“It will be driven by you all, and if you don’t, remember your children, yourselves and the future. The society we are building today will make it better for all of us tomorrow.”
